This briefing by RMI argues that PJM can address rapid load growth and high energy costs by streamlining the interconnection process for Energy Resource Interconnection Service (ERIS) resources. Based on analysis by Aurora Energy Research, the document asserts that energy-only resources, particularly wind and solar, are financially viable without capacity revenues and could provide significant cost savings to ratepayers if the interconnection pathway is reformed to prioritize speed and minimal network upgrades.

This market brief, prepared by GreenCape for the City of Cape Town, evaluates green technologies and practices to sustainably intensify urban and peri-urban food production. It classifies interventions into three levels based on a modified Gliessman framework: increasing efficiency of current practices, substituting alternative practices, and re-establishing production through novel growing systems. The document provides financial viability assessments for hydroponics, aquaponics, and complete Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) systems, while also identifying specific investment opportunities for different farm scales in Cape Town.
